District of Bardejov

Few cities in the Prešov Region have histories more closely tied to trade across the Carpathians than Bardejov, the centre of the District of Bardejov. Set in the valley of the Topľa River in northeastern Slovakia, it developed as a royal free town and retains a notably coherent fortified historic core. Radničné námestie is lined with burgher houses, while the Basilica of St Egidius rises above the square; both belong to Bardejov’s UNESCO-listed historic town. The World Heritage property also includes the former Jewish quarter, with its preserved synagogue. Nearby Bardejovské Kúpele continues the area’s spa tradition.
